The secret of not having worries, for me at least, is to have ideas.

If one considered life as a simple loan, one would perhaps be less exacting. We possess actually nothing; everything goes through us.

Everyone knows that yellow, orange, and red suggest ideas of joy and plenty. I can paint you the skin of Venus with mud, provided you let me surround it as I will.

A picture is nothing but a bridge between the soul of the artist and that of the spectator.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

We work not only to produce, but to give value to time.

Talent does whatever it wants to do. Genius does only what it can.

One never paints violently enough.

Seeing artistically does not happen automatically. We must constantly develop our powers of observation.

A fine suggestion, a sketch with great feeling, can be as expressive as the most finished product.

What moves those of genius, what inspires their work is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.

We speak not only to tell other people what we think, but to tell ourselves what we think. Speech is a part of thought.

Show me slowly what I onlyknow the limits ofDance me to the end of love

Love you..." Henry-" Always..." Oh God oh God-" World enough..." No!" And time..." Henry!

People do what they do to each other and they feed on it.

I don't believe in heaven and hell. I don't know if I believe in God. All I know is that as an individual, I won't allow this life - the only thing I know to exist - to be wasted.

Memorials become relics if they do not stir our modern conscience.

Your divine mate already exists. When you get to the place in yourself that is peaceful divine love, your true mate will be revealed.

Your strongest life is built through a continuous practice of designing moment by moment.

People are afraid of immortality because they believe they won't find something to do and will get bored! What to do if we become immortal? We can just walk! It is better than dying!

I didn't want to get stuck in pretty, public school roles, or I knew I'd end up as some sort of caricature.
